US bloodthirsty imperialist Marco Rubio completely justifies the fears of most Venezuelans

Recently, US Senator Marco Rubio has posted a picture of the brutal murder of late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in a less-than-subtle threat to Venezuela’s Maduro. Twitter blasted Rubio as a manic warmonger… who has extremely poor taste.

The two pictures – one showing Gaddafi while still in power, the other showing the Libyan leader being tortured minutes before his brutal murder – were posted by Sen. Rubio (R-FL) on Twitter without any caption. Yet, given his open calls for an armed insurrection in the Latin American country to depose President Nicolas Maduro, the message was clear.

Through this unspeakable action, the US imperialist maniac actually justified the fears of most Venezuelans who know very well what happened to Libya, after the so-called 'humanitarian intervention' by the US and its allies.

As Aaron Mate said on The Jimmy Dore Show:

That fear of turning into another Libya is very much on the mind of very many Venezuelans. I heard from them directly, going into especially poor neighborhoods, and I heard so many references to being scared of the US wanting to foment a civil war and turn the country into another Libya.

And it's a fair concern because, as we saw, there are many analogous features of what happened in Libya. Where you have an oil-rich country, you have a demonized global south leader, you have internal polarization and all this gets exploited. And the US basically goes in and says that the pretext for the Libyan war, was that this was gonna be a limited humanitarian intervention to stop a potential massacre in Benghazi. So, using human rights concerns to launch the war, but then of course the war goes way beyond that.

And even though you have UN resolutions calling for negotiations - you have Gaddafi even calling for negotiations - the US and its NATO allies go way beyond that and they destroy the country. And now, you have slavery. And those people [Venezuelans] are very well aware of that. And I heard that history and that fear on the minds of many people who I spoke to.

So, to see Marco Rubio tweeting that out, I can't think of a bigger validation of all those fears.

Can you remember any other sociopath in the past who actually cheered the brutal murder of Muammar Gaddafi?

That's all you need to know to understand that when they are about to destroy and loot a country, the US corporate puppets are all united and on the same side.
